The Path to Radical Self-Love: Insights from My MysticMag Interview

May 23, 2024

My Inspiration for CARRINNA

Hi everyone! I’m excited to share an interview I recently did with MysticMag about the inspiration behind CARRINNA and my approach to holistic health, beauty and aging. In this interview, I open up about my personal experiences that influenced my holistic philosophy and the services I offer through my practice.

The interviewer asked about what inspired me to create CARRINNA, a platform dedicated to helping people over 40 celebrate life and the aging process beautifully. I shared how my own 40th birthday was a pivotal moment that made me realize there was a lack of online spaces for women in midlife. After over a decade practicing acupuncture with a focus on women’s health issues, I yearned to create something joyful and celebratory amidst the challenges of the pandemic era.

I went on to explain how CARRINNA aims to be a holistic space where women can explore style, beauty, wellness and solutions for health issues like perimenopause and menopause. My goal is to foster a community that challenges traditional narratives around aging and empowers women to embrace this stage of life with positivity.

The Interconnection of Beauty, Wellness and Spirituality

The interviewer was also curious about my holistic approach that interconnects beauty, wellness and spirituality. I emphasized the importance of looking at all facets of health – physical, mental and spiritual. True healing involves letting go of negativity and cultivating love, optimism and self-compassion from the inside out.

Shifting the Aging Narrative Through Self-Love

We discussed my mission of shifting societal conversations around aging by guiding people toward radical self-love and acceptance. I shared how practices like facial acupuncture can help address insecurities and appreciation for one’s changing appearance over time. My hope is that by valuing ourselves, we can step into the role of powerful elders offering wisdom to communities.

Services for Holistic Wellbeing

I also provided an overview of my service offerings like traditional acupuncture for hormonal health, as well as facial acupuncture and energy healing work. At the core is my belief that love itself is a powerful medicine, so I aim to infuse all my treatments with compassion.

My Personal Health Journey

Lastly, I opened up about my own personal health journeys that sparked my path into holistic practices. From my early 20s experience avoiding ovarian surgery through acupuncture, to healing acne, menstrual issues and unresolved anger through a mind-body-spirit approach, I learned the interconnectedness of true healing.

My philosophy is that authentic beauty emanates from within through self-love and self-acceptance. I'm honored to help guide others in achieving holistic wellbeing in this powerful way.

I hope this interview provides some valuable insights into the heart and inspirations behind CARRINNA. Let me know if you have any other questions! Wishing you all love and healing on your journeys.

As a lifestyle expert, acupuncturist, personal stylist, and founder of CARRINNA, I have dedicated my career to helping women over 40 celebrate aging through Style, Beauty and Wellness. Through my years of experience as an acupuncturist (L.Ac), spiritual coach, personal stylist and Host of the CARRINNA Podcast, I have helped countless women experience more love, confidence, wellness, and radiant unapologetic joy.

Self-care is an essential aspect of my philosophy, and it’s why I have created products such as my Essential Mist. This invigorating mist is composed of a White Tea and Rosewater base with a reparative blend of Prebiotics and East Asian Medicinal plants of Ginseng and Tremella, which helps combat stress, dehydration, and fatigue. Additionally, I offer consultations for those who are looking to further prioritize their self-care and wellness journey.
